<H2>Note</H2>During the test phase of the WWW project, the port number to which
the daemon listens was 2784. W3 has officially allocated port number
80. Servers should use port 80 and advertise their address with the
explicit port number (i.e. http://host:80/etc...). Details of the
final changeover plan will be advertised on the www-announce<A NAME=11 HREF=../../Administration/Mailing/Overview.html> mailing
list</A> .<P>
